Most juvenile detention staff who sexually victimized children faced no legal repercussions for their actions, according to a U.S. Department of Justice report that examined substantiated incidents from 2013 through 2018.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics study released Friday found that among 499 substantiated incidents, perpetrators faced legal action 31% of the time, and that incidents were typically handled internally, with a reprimand or discipline, demotion or temporary suspension. In half the cases, the violator was discharged, terminated or their contract not renewed.
“These findings are a grim illustration of how children in youth detention facilities are being failed by the adults whose job is to keep them safe,” Linda McFarlane, executive director of Just Detention International, said in a statement. The Los Angeles-based organization seeks to end sexual abuse in all forms of detention.
Falls right into the 95% stat people are ignorant about…
Oh oh!! Can I please exchange my Price Club Registry membership for a reprimand and demotion?? 🤷🏻♂️
Doesn’t hurt to ask, right??
Oh wait, let me see if I get this right, “Well, if they were in juvenile detention they shouldn’t have done whatever they did and they deserve whatever they get.”*
That’s what the Ken and Karen Public* always say about us Registrants, isn’t it? 🤨
So the U.S. Department of Justice is finding injustice ….. and is not doing sh*t about it! To be expected, I guess. 😠😒
The United States is a nothing more than a model of absolute power craven hypocrisy. It’s not about who is right or wrong, it’s about who is in and who is out. Absolute corruption and no legitimacy in the so called “justice” system.
